BEIRUT, Nov. 3 — Two members of the Lebanese Hezbollah group were killed and seven other people injured on Monday afternoon in two separate Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, according to official and security sources.
The official Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli drone launched three guided missiles, targeting a car in the town of Al-Doueir.
The strike resulted in the death of one person and injuries to seven. The NNA added that another hostile drone carried out an attack on a motorcycle in the Abu Laban neighborhood of the village of Aita al-Shaab.
The Emergency Operations Center of the Ministry of Public Health said in a statement that the Israeli strike on Aita al-Shaab killed one citizen.
A source in the Lebanese Army Intelligence told Xinhua that “the person killed in the Al-Doueir strike was a Hezbollah member named Mohammad Hadid, and the person killed in the Aita al-Shaab strike was also a Hezbollah member named Youssef Naameh Srour.”
Since Nov. 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, brokered by the United States and France, has been in effect, largely ending clashes that erupted following the war in the Gaza Strip.
Despite the agreement, the Israeli army occasionally carries out strikes in Lebanon, claiming they are intended to eliminate Hezbollah “threats,” while maintaining forces at five main positions along the Lebanese border. (Xinhua)
